From 1b70927123a6bab5f05b6a2241bf5b640fc3352b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "William A. Rowe Jr" Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2009 15:29:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add windows build notes before any 2.2.X release, which should help users with the integration notes for obtaining 3rd party db drivers. This file was shipped in the tarball as a dist artifact, but it better belongs in the httpd tree to warn users about the first pipe handling issue if they are rolling their own. git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/branches/2.2.x@782399 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68 --- README-win32.txt | 57 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 57 insertions(+) create mode 100644 README-win32.txt diff --git a/README-win32.txt b/README-win32.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..d7c793ce5e9 --- /dev/null +++ b/README-win32.txt @@ -0,0 +1,57 @@ +New version of APR +------------------ + +Note that the included APR is now version 1.3, which adds several +subtle changes in the behavior of file handling, pipes and process +creation. Most importantly, there is finer control over the handles +inherited by processes, so the mod_fastcgi or mod_fcgid modules must +be updated for httpd-2.2.9 to run correctly on Windows. + +Most other third party modules are unaffected by this change. + + +Source corrections applied +-------------------------- + +The -win32-src.zip package includes corrections to the Makefile.win +build file so that .mak based builds work. The package also corrects +the default to disable IPV6 support. These patches are summarized in +the httpd-2.2.9-win32-src.applied.patch file. + + +Connecting to databases +----------------------- + +With APR-util 1.3.0, the MySQL and FreeTDS drivers do not compile +on Windows. There is no Microsoft SQL Server client or ODBC client +at the present time. + +Three driver connectors are provided in the binary distribution, for +SQLite3, PostgreSQL and Oracle. They require you to install the actual +corresponding client drivers. + +The sqlitedll.zip binary file can be obtained from; + +http://www.sqlite.org/download.html + +note that this binary was built with version 3.5.9 (earlier and +later version 3.5 driver .dll's may work.) + +The Oracle Instant Client - Basic driver can be obtained from + +http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html + +and note that this binary was built against version 11.1.0.6.0, +other version 11.1 drivers may work. + +The PostgreSQL binaries may be obtained from + +http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3.1/win32/ + +and note that this binary was built against version 8.3.1-1, and +again it may work with other 8.1 version .dll's. + +For whichever database backend you configure, the corresponding driver +.dll's must be in your PATH (and in the systemwide path if used for +a service such as Apache httpd). + -- 2.47.2
